Mets' A.J. Ewing struggles offensively as strikeouts increase

A.J. Ewing is experiencing a challenging period at the plate for the Mets during his rookie season. After a hitless performance against the Dodgers, he has gone nine at-bats without a hit and accumulated 26 strikeouts in July. Interim manager Andy Green expresses confidence in Ewing's ability to overcome this rough stretch, emphasizing the need for the player to return to his strengths. With Juan Soto recently placed on the injured list, Ewing's resurgence becomes critical for the team's lineup. The Mets are looking for offensive improvements in upcoming games to counter recent challenges.
